Cast bullet loads for the 6.5X54

I am in the process of working up some 160gr cast RN loads for my 1903. Since I have found zero information on the net, I asked over at the Cast Bullet Forum if anyone had any personal experience and got no answers. Thought I'd check here to see if anyone has already traveled this path and might be willing to share their results.

I've started with very light charges and velocities are running in the 1400 fps range. Also got an email back from Accurate Powder on some ideas about using 5744. I figure if I can get something up in the 1800 fps +/- range that is accurate and doesn't lead too badly, it should hit close to the same POI as my 160 jacketed bullet zero. It'll be a fun practice load and I may even try to take a whitetail with it.

Suggestions?
